ROCKFORD — Rockford McDonald’s workers rallied July 31 at the local franchise on Auburn Street for increased wages of $15 an hour and for the right to form a union.

The rally was held in response to the statement by the National Labor Relations Board general counsel that McDonald’s plays a critical role in employment decisions at its restaurants, despite the company’s assertions to the contrary.
